One key concept that I learned that convergence has created a need for less journalist because they can now because of convergence report on multiple plat forms of media which as caused people to have less of a choice in new coverage out lets to choose from.

Key Term: Low Culture is soap operas, rock music, radio shock jocks, and video games. Low culture is also considered popular culture and is aligned with the questionable tastes of the masses.

Five Facts:

2. That in 2009 we spent 1,562 hours we spent watching tv by the average American and when you consider that 16 minutes out of every hour of tv is commercials that’s a lot of commercials time viewed by Americans.

3. 90% of households have internet service and a DVD player.

4. The last telegraph was sent in 2006 by Western Union Telegraph Union.

Personal Story: video games play a rather important role in my life I play them almost daily. For the most part I play them to communicate with my friends who are at other colleges. Like on Saturday night while I was sick and not out with friends at college I stayed in and played games with my friends and caught up with how things were in my home town and how things were in college and even got to talk to a friend how I had not seen since 5th grade. So I use video games for enjoyment and for communication with friends.
